Is quartz sand toxic?

The quartz sand we see nowadays is generally colorful, and is mostly found in flower shops. It is used as decoration in flower pots, or as decoration in fish tanks. Its purpose is not particularly clear. There will be colored quartz sand in the flower pots you buy. Isn’t it poisonous? It is put in fish tanks and flower pots just for beautiful flowers. So is it poisonous? Will it poison the fish? Let’s take a look at whether quartz sand is poisonous?

Quartz sand is a hard, wear-resistant, chemically stable silicate mineral, non-toxic. Its main mineral component is SiO2. The color of quartz sand is milky white or colorless and translucent.

The unique physical and chemical properties of quartz sand make it play an important role in aviation, aerospace, electronics, machinery and today's rapidly developing IT industry. In particular, its inherent molecular chain structure, crystal shape and lattice change law make it have high temperature resistance, small thermal expansion coefficient, high insulation, corrosion resistance, piezoelectric effect, resonance effect and its unique optical properties, which play an increasingly important role in many high-tech products.

Quartz sand is an important industrial mineral raw material and a non-chemical hazardous product. It is widely used in glass, casting, ceramics and refractory materials, smelting ferrosilicon, metallurgical flux, metallurgy, construction, chemical industry, plastics, rubber, abrasives and other industries. It can be transported by truck, train or water. Industrial production is generally packaged in 50KG or 25KG packages and exported in ton bags.

A large part of domestic quartz sand is used in the quartz products industry. Donghai, Jiangsu, the center of China's silicon industry, is known as the hometown of quartz and crystal. Donghai has some strong quartz tube and quartz rod manufacturers, such as Lianyungang Dongxin Quartz Products Co., Ltd., which has excellent technology and scale for producing quartz tubes. Among them, Lianyungang Dongxin Quartz Products Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer specializing in the production of colored quartz tubes. It is also the first manufacturer in Asia to develop colored quartz tubes. Its products include red quartz tubes, yellow quartz tubes, gray quartz tubes, black quartz tubes, blue quartz tubes, etc. It also produces UV filter quartz tubes, transparent quartz tubes, quartz rods and other quartz products.

Through the above content, we have an understanding of the answer to the question of whether quartz sand is toxic. We know very little about quartz sand, especially young people, who don’t even know what quartz sand is. Maybe some people know it, but have never seen it. So through the above content, we have a deep understanding of quartz sand, which can be regarded as popularizing knowledge for ourselves!
